First look at Newport's new and improved Coco's cocktail bar
The venue was once the go-to destination for urban music lovers and after an exciting internal revamp, re-opens its doors to customers. The venue will continue to spin the same old-school R&B and Hip-Hop tracks that made previous customers fall in love, but with a fresh new look.
The rustic brick patterned walls feel homely, helping customers relax in Coco's like it's their own home. Paired with the colourful, bright neon signs and a lively soundtrack, Coco's carries a unique energy that will be sure to have loyal guests returning time and again.

Alongside the new menu additions, Coco's will also host Newport's first ever all you can eat crisp brunch, which is a monthly must attend event that gives customers the chance to chow down on a nostalgic feast of the best snacks on offer.
In a unique offering, customers can enjoy a selection of custom house spirits that are lovingly distilled at their very own, locally based distillery, Spirit of Wales, in Maesglas.

These artists have a chance to be featured on an LP record on the vinyl wall in the centre of the venue, acting as a library to document each artist that comes through the doors and sits in the DJ booth.

Ahead of the grand re-opening Alisun, general manager of Coco's, said: 'I just want to give my team a massive thank you for all their help and support.
'We're all looking forward to a new venture that's bigger and better than before.'
Beyond the main bar area, Cocos boasts a versatile upstairs event room that is perfect for a wide range of occasions.
